    I’m confused as to why this is unfriendly to mainland China. I suppose it may have something to do with China’s intense respect for history, but I’d love to hear someone more familiar weigh in on the subject.

      I’ve heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang’s ideology that China should be reunified.
      The disagreement was who should be in power after.
      The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don’t want reunion.

      Well no China has a strong attachment to positive history, the negative shit not so much.

            From what I’ve heard, China tends to embrace the mistakes of the past and uses that as guidance for present decisions.

            I’m not here to like boot lick for them or anything, but like, be accurate.

                    It’s because you’re spreading false information. Like I said I am no fan of China but you shouldn’t be spreading obvious lies. American propaganda is just as bad as anything.

                  Thank you for clearing up the truth! Fighting propaganda is important praxis.
